Emphasizing Concept, Not Process.
"As a visual artist, I blend representation with abstraction to suggest narrative entrances that draw viewers into immersive sensory experiences. By utilizing cutting-edge tools, techniques, and technologies, I break from conventional limits fostering a space for boundless creativity to thrive. To emphasize the concept, I minimize the process. With a discerning eye for composition and color control, I art direct and use select generative images as reference that resonate with my central concept - A Journey Into the Ethereal Dominion. Using digital art tools, I often manipulate, distort and compose select elements into original compositions ready for simple rendering right over the compositions. This gives it a more suggestive feel creating hybrid works that fuse human with machine creativity. The intentional use of generative images and simple digital hand rendering minimizes the process and leaves an emphasis on the concept."
